I had a large one (1.5qt), and loved it. This one works OK, but not as good as the larger one. I think it is because the paddle doesn’t actually scrape the sides as closely as the larger model’s paddle does, so the frozen part isn’t getting incorporated into the mixture as well. The soft serve result is therefore more liquid with the pint size. The fully frozen result is fine after a few hours in the freezer, though denser and needs to thaw a little before serving. I have tried running the process a little longer, but the frozen device starts to defrost too much and that’s counter-productive.
FYI, I found out from Cuisinart that the container holds 1 3/4 cups of mixture to be frozen. Many online recipes are made for 1.5 quart size so I just make 1/3 recipe and it has worked pretty well.

The idea of a small ice cream maker is appealing to those of us who love to cook and live in smaller quarters - and this fits the bill. Easy to use and to store! Appreciate the recipes given and have tried a few so far - they've been great. Looking forward to creating my own recipes. Works as advertised!

This is perfect for whipping up two servings of icecream following our supper. We like to experiment with many flavors and add-ins. It doesn't take long to make two servings. I wish the lid was easier to get into place. Perhaps some sort of marking that lets me match which grooves go where???

Love our ice cream maker! Nothing tops making fresh ice cream from home! Easy to use and clean up! I've used commercial ones when I use to work as a pastry chef and this isn't as big as what I've worked on before but it definitely does the job! 😋
